TRIUMF’s DRAGON Group has made the first successful observation of the fusion of radioactive 18F with hydrogen, producing19Ne. In time, this will give astrophysicists another way to observe the inner workings of novae.

UBC Mechanical Engineering students collaborated with TRIUMF's Applied Technology Group for a fourth year capstone project- a new universal modular design for target stations within the beam line from the cyclotron.

CERN's ISOLDE collaboration recently announced progress with analyzing the shapes of heavy, rare isotopes. TRIUMF's RadonEDM experiment will follow on the heels and is poised for dramatic progress with its Ion-Guide Laser Ion Source.
